This is what the 2 Kw generator looks like when it is installed as a stand alone unit on skids in a trailer . It is a water cooled unit .I have one of these also and i want to mount it in a trailer next year .Photo credit RC Sigs museum.

It looks a bit over-full. (I think the flap should close more than that - both of mine do.) According to the working instructions, the bag should contain:

Guys, Assembly ZA/C 00022 Qty 8
Hammers, 4.1/2 lb. striking Qty 1
Hammers, Engineers, Ball Pein. 8 oz. Qty 1
Leads, Aerial No. C6 ZA/C 00102 Qty 1
Pegs, Antennae Rods "A" ZA 0374 Qty 8 + 2 spares
Spikes, Ground ZA/C 00024 Qty 2

...which will be heavy enough, since the forged steel ground spikes are very heavy, but there's probably other bits of the vehicle hardware mounting kit crammed in there as well that should be in its own bag. Mine had the aerial base and a halyard, plus a multi-section wire aerial that looked to be a replacement for the WS19 kit of 6 aerials (but was cut to the wrong length) on a wire-frame winder, tipped in.

I think the best place for the Bags, Aerial Gear, Mk.II is on the bottom shelf of the cabinet (i.e. at floor level) to keep the c.g. as low as possible.

Best regards,
Chris.
